Azure DHCP

Greek-Greg · 2020-01-07T18:44:29.000Z

The people converting us over to Azure just told me Microsoft does not support DHCP running on the Azure cloud? Does anyone know if this is true? This sounds insane. I am doing this for a tiny company who does not want to have any HW servers locally.

Thanks

Wouldn’t you need the IP address handled locally to gain internet access and thus access Azure?

Can they use their router or firewall to handle DHCP?

It’s tunneled through the firewall with static IPs all the way around. It is some “change” MS just did.

ASA firewall does not support static reservations and switches are old as crap. gonna have to spin one up on a desktop for now.

This is insane for Microsoft to try to push everyone to their cloud solution, then make you buy something just to support simple dhcp.

Or set up a cheap router than can hand out DHCP addresses and keep the default gateway as whatever you have it pointed at now.

Looking into that. It just has to be able to handle multiple VLANs for my IP phones and other zoned devices.
